Information Collection
The Company may collect information from our users in
several areas of our Web site as described in this privacy
policy.
Registration
This Web site includes a registration form for you to
provide information to us. You are required to give us
information so that we may contact you (such as your name
and e-mail address). We use this information to contact you
about the services on our site for which you have expressed
an interest. In order to provide you with a more
personalized experience on our site, we give you an
opportunity to provide demographic information (such as
income level and gender) and unique information that
identifies you (such as your social security number).
Newsletter
If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for
contact information such as your name and e-mail address.
Order Forms
We request information from you on our order form. You must
provide contact information (such as name and shipping
address) and financial information (such as credit card
number and expiration date). This information is used to
fill your orders and for billing purposes. If we have
trouble processing your order, we use this contact
information to get in touch with you.
Surveys & Contests
From time to time our site requests information from you to
conduct surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys
or contests is completely voluntary. Therefore, you have a
choice whether or not to disclose the information. This
information may include contact information (such as name
and address) and demographic information (such as age or zip
code). Unless otherwise stated near the information form, we
use survey information to monitor or improve our site and
contest information to notify the winners and award prizes.
Tell a Friend
If you elect to use our referral service to inform a friend
about our site, we ask your friend for his or her name and
e-mail address. We automatically send the friend a one-time
e-mail inviting him or her to visit our site. We store this
information for the sole purpose of sending this one-time
e-mail. The friend may contact us at remove@The Company.com
to request removal of this information from our database.
Cookies
A cookie is a message that the server for our Web site gives
to your Web browser. Your browser stores the message in a
file called cookie.txt. Each time the browser requests a
page from the server, a message is sent back to the server.
Purposes for cookies include identifying users and preparing
customized Web pages for them. When you fill out a form on
our site, this information is packaged into a cookie and
sent to your browser. It's stored for later use. The next
time you visit our site, your browser will send the cookie
to the server, which can use the information to present you
with a more personalized experience. For instance, the site
may greet you by your name or remember your username when
you begin to fill out a form.
If you reject the cookie, you may still use our site;
however, you may only receive limited information in some
areas of the site.
Some of our business partners, such as advertisers, use
cookies on our site. We have no access to these cookies or
control over them.
Log Files
We use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to analyze trends,
administer the site, track a user's movement and gather
broad demographic information for aggregate use.
"Aggregate use" means that information from all
users is collected and gathered into a whole unit so that
information as a whole can be used. We do not link IP
addresses to personally identifiable information.
Special Offers
When you complete our registration form, we send you a
welcoming e-mail to verify your password and username. You
may occasionally receive information on products, services
and special deals. We offer you the option to discontinue
receiving these communications by "opting out" of
receiving promotional offers and material.
Site and Service Updates
We send you update announcements that contain important
information about our site and services. If you register on
our site, you may not discontinue receiving these
announcements unless you choose to delete your registration
information and discontinue using our site. We will
communicate with your regarding your account through e-mail
or the telephone.
Supplemental Information
In order for us to tailor our site to your individual tastes
and preferences, we combine information about the interests
and purchasing habits of users with similar information from
our partners to create a personalized user profile. Our
partners are Webbity, Inc. and iShore2Shore Travel, Inc.
When you make a purchase from either of these two companies,
the company collects and shares that purchase information
with us so we may tailor our site to your preferences.
Information Use
The Company is the sole owner of the information collected
on this site. We will not share, sell or rent this
information to others in any way other than as disclosed in
this policy or stated at the point where the information is
collected.
Sharing
We will share aggregated demographic information with our
partners and advertisers. This information is not linked to
any personal information that can identify any individual
person.
We use a credit card processing company to bill for goods
and services and an outside shipping company to ship orders.
These companies do not use, share, retain or store
personally identifiable information for any purposes other
than to process the transaction or to ship the order.
We partner with other companies and individuals to provide
specific services. When you sign up for these services, we
will share your name or other contact information that is
necessary for the third party to provide these services.
These parties are not allowed to use personally identifiable
information except for the purpose of providing these
services.
Your Choice to Opt-Out
You have the opportunity to "opt-out" of having
your information used for purposes not directly related to
our site at the point where we ask you for the information.
For example, our order form has an opt-out box. If you want
to buy a product from us, but you do not want to receive
future promotional e-mails or marketing material, you simply
check the box to opt-out of the group receiving such
e-mails.
If you no longer wish to receive promotional material from
our partners, you may opt-out of this group by responding to
the "unsubscribe" e-mail link or by e-mailing us
at movieplan@movieplan.net.
We notify you when your information is being collected by
any outside parties. You may then make an informed choice as
to whether or not you would like to continue receiving
services that require an outside party.
Correcting and Updating Personal Information If any
of your personally identifiable information changes or if
you no longer wish to use our service, we will offer you a
way to correct, update or remove your personal data that you
have provided to us. Usually this can be done on the member
information page or by e-mailing us at movieplan@movieplan.net.
Security
We want to protect your information. When you submit
sensitive information on our Web site, your information is
protected online and off-line.
When you provide sensitive information on our site (such as
credit card number or social security number), that
information is encrypted and protected with encryption
software. While you are on a secure page, such as our order
form page, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such
as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer
becomes locked.
While we use encryption software to protect sensitive
information online, we also use our best efforts to protect
your information off-line. All of our users' information,
not just the sensitive information, is restricted in our
offices. Only employees who need the information to perform
a specific job (such as our billing clerk or customer
service representative) are granted access to personally
identifiable information. Our employees must use
password-protected screen savers when they leave their desk.
The servers on which we store personally identifiable
information are kept in a secure environment behind a locked
cage.
If you have any questions about the security for our Web
site, please e-mail us at movieplan@movieplan.net.
Links
This Web site contains links to other Web sites. We are not
responsible for the privacy practices of the other sites. We
encourage you to read the privacy statements of each and
every Web site that collects personally identifiable
information. This privacy policy applies solely to
information collected by this Web site.
Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post
those changes on our Home Page so you will always be aware
of what information we collect, how we use it and under what
circumstances, if any, we disclose it. If we decide to use
personally identifiable information in a manner different
from that stated at the time it was collected, we will
notify you by e-mail. You will have the choice to allow us
to use the information in this different manner. We will use
information according to the privacy policy posted at the
time the information was collected.
